I understand that this class, English 216, will require me to commit a significant amount of my time to complete assignments. It is through my own motivation that I’ll be able to assign this time and work productively within it. All grading practices were explained clearly to me in the syllabus and I am in agreement with all of them. Reading, listening, and observing everything that is given to me will also help me to use my time in a productive manner. Any questions or concerns I have can be sent through the appropriate channels so long as it is treated as a technical document. Any revisions I make are treated as final documents and graded as such. Communication, as well as being respectful…
The principal has a directive tone in most of the letter. He uses his tone to make clear to the target audience, who are the parents of the students attending the school, that there will be no compromising and that it is a ruling that all students must follow. The…
I am writing this letter in support of Glenn Williams’ application for your college. While I am only entering my second year as College Counselor, during this short period of time I have had the opportunity to interact with Glenn on a frequent basis. He visits my office at least once a week seeking advice on his college applications or sharing a monologue he is working on. He has a tremendous amount of passion for the arts. Whether it is singing, dancing or acting; he belongs on the stage and is dedicated to developing his art form.…
“Taking AP English Language and Composition is a worthwhile experience as it can cultivate in students powerful skills and abilities that permit them to think bilaterally, read deeply, and write efficaciously.” -Mr. Alper…
Today is the day I’m going to leave Lansdowne, felt shocked when hear that you are leaving as well. This is the first time for me to write a letter for my teacher. For me, you are not only a teacher, you are my first tutor, first economic teacher(though my eco was horrible), my first accounting teacher and also like a friend. You occupy more than half of my high school life and really take care of us. I’m really glad that I can met you in my life, I thought that we will still in London so if I miss you I can still meet you in the college. Feel pleased to participate your first and last lesson in Lansdowne, you’ve swayed my life so deeply and being such a good teacher. Enjoy your new life no matter where is your next journey, hope we can get…
Hello, I am your daughter, Sabra's, English teacher. I wanted to take the time to enlighten you about her class room behavior and how disrespectful she can get towards me. Don't get me wrong, Sabra is not always discourteous. She has her days where she can be a model student in class and in others she can be my worst nightmare. For the last couple of weeks, Sabra has been coming to class to sleep. When I address her to wake up, she would give me an attitude or curse at me. She says marching band is the blame for her sleeping in class. If marching band is getting in the way of her education, I believe she should reconsider her choice about being in the band. I have informed you in the past about her poor grade in my class. It's as if she doesn't try to attempt and make an effort to do the material I present to the class. I would appreciate it if you have a talk with your daughter about her classroom etiquette and how to appreciate teaching staff on a day to day basis. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read my letter and take into consideration the concerns I have with your daughter.…
In the second letter, the author addresses why he/she thinks ads in schools are the best solution for the money problems. The writer makes valid points like the school needs money for clubs and sports. The author also uses facts like "The music program has suffered greatly.".(Chen…
Eastview football is known for its outstanding sports programs, especially its football team. Unfortunately, that does not apply to my class. Our team had put in bone crushing hours in the weight room and on the field since June. There was no doubt in my mind that we wanted to win more than any other team. I wish this story ended with us getting countless wins and making it to state, however, Eastview football lost every single game that year. Even though we did not win a single game, I still refused to give up. I showed up to every single practice, eager to learn, and to make myself better. When I start something, I finish it no matter how hard or how painful it might be. I will bring that same intensity to UW-Eau Claire. There will be countless setbacks in my college career at UW-Eau Claire, but I am going to get through each and every one. My persistence and tenacity will make me thrive in your college, because I will not take the easy way around. I will take each and every painstaking step to see the view from the…
This class has taught me many things about myself along with many necessary skills needed while writing. I know now that, through hard work and determination, I can achieve what I might think to be impossible. While reflecting back on my initial writing abilities, I see the weak, uneducated style of writing. Each essay shows my progression and improvement, and, after a while, the class began to become much easier. Today, after practicing throughout my essays this semester, I believe that I, in fact, have…
The English III AP (or AP( English Language and Composition) course objectives are to help students become “skilled readers of prose written in a variety of periods, disciplines, and rhetorical contexts” and to help students become “skilled writers who compose for a variety of purposes” (The College Board, AP( English Course Description, May 2007, May 2008, p. 6). Students are expected to read critically, think analytically, and communicate clearly both in writing and speech, which form the “basis for academic and professional communication.” The purpose of this course is to emphasize “expository, analytical, and argumentative writing” based on selected readings…
I have read your letter that expresses your passionate vehemence for “A Modest Proposal,” and with the utmost sincerity, I appreciate your active role in the education of your son. It is heartening to see a parent with the conviction to fight for a wholesome education not just for his child, but for future generations of students. Education is an absolute, unrefuted necessity for any individual who wishes to be successful. An important part of any education is learning different perspectives in order to become better versed. I write back in hopes of imparting a new perspective upon you.…
This will be the second time I make one of these essays and as a person who has experienced an AP course I am thrilled to express what I have accomplished and the objectives I want to attain for my future in AP. Before entering my first AP Class there was only a feeling of fright and a part of me was ready to bail so I could run back to the normal classes. However, now that I look back I am glad that I did not run away. Due to the Pre-AP and AP course that is offered by the school I was capable of achieving more than I could have ever imagined. For example, the vocabulary I utilize is way more extensive and my knowledge in English and Spanish grammar has increased for the better. Not only that, but values like responsibility and assertiveness have played an important role in AP course because of the high intellectuality and sophistication in them. My experience in AP this year has aided me to grow intellectually and…
There are many reasons as to why I should be admitted into the English 2 Honors course for my sophomore year at The Philadelphia High School for girls. First, I like an academic challenge. When things are too easy or not keeping me busy enough, I tend to be more inattentive and relaxed about that class. I like when I am constantly brainstorming and working hard. Thinking and learning at a faster pace is suitable for me because English is one of my stronger subjects.…
My current interests include participating in art, specifically sketching and water-color painting. I started taking up interest in art a few years back and I continue to practice to develop my skills and ease into peacefulness. I also spend my time biking around different areas within Jacksonville. It is a time where I get to appreciate my surroundings and experience some exercise. When taking the course AP English Language and Composition, my qualities include being able to analyze text to find meaning and author’s purpose. It’s useful for understanding the text and help me during my exam; furthermore, I am able to write a proper formal essay with the skills I learned from last year. For instance, I know how to write proper introductions,…
I acknowledge that my performance in the last semester was unacceptable. However, I hold it as inaccurate representation of my academic potential. In the next semester, I expect to spend my time more wisely. I will work diligently to earn good grades and attend all of my classes.…
